Mount Caubvick

Mount Caubvick is a mountain peak in the Torngat Mountains that forms a natural border between Quebec and Labrador. The summit can be approached via several distinct ridges that rise from the surrounding landscape.

The summit was first successfully reached in 1973 when mountaineers completed their ascent via Cadillac Pass. This early expedition opened the way for understanding this remote mountain range.

The mountains carry a name rooted in Inuit language and spiritual beliefs about the natural world and its forces. This connection to local traditions remains visible through the stories and names that communities associate with this landscape.

Travel to the mountain requires float plane or boat transport from Nain, after which hiking continues through unmarked terrain. Visitors should prepare for harsh weather and challenging ground conditions.

The mountain holds permanent glaciers at its peak, a rare feature in this northern region. These ice masses attract the attention of scientists and mountaineers alike.
